The Effect of Psychological and Social Factors toward Flood Disaster Risk Management Behavior through Psychological Capital and Posttraumatic Growth of Teachers in Vicinity

Abstract

The purposes of this study were: 1) to examine the structural relationship models of the effect of psychological and social factors toward flood disaster management behavior, through both positive psychological capital and posttraumatic growth of teachers in the vicinity, and 2) to compare the structural relationship models of the effect of psychological and social factors on flood disaster risk management behavior through positive psychological capital and posttraumatic growth of teachers. These teachers in Pathum Thani and Nonthaburi provinces had been affected by flooding during October - November 2011. The total sample was 818: 417 in Pathum Thani province and 401 in Nonthaburi province. The data was statistically analyzed using LISREL. The findings manifested that: 1) The hypothesized structural equation models were adjusted in harmony with the fitted empirical data ( χ²= 1036.02, df = 215 (p = .00), SRMR = 0.057, RMSEA = 0.068, GFI = 0.90, NFI = 0.96, CFI = 0.97, NNFI = 0.96 , PNFI = 0.75 and χ2/ df = 4.819) where all various levels are acceptable. The study signified that posttraumatic growth had a direct effect on the flood disaster risk management behavior by the most influential coefficient of 0.58. 2) The comparative study of models showed that the coefficient effect of the sense of community on the positive psychological capital variable in the Pathum Thani teacher group was higher than in the Nonthaburi teacher group, but the coefficient effect of social support on the positive psychological capital variable in the Pathum Thani teacher group was lower than in the Nonthaburi teacher group.
